   HANDLE hLayer,
   LPCWSTR szFileName,
   HANDLE hLcWnd
 );

Parameters
hDrw
  Handle to a drawing object.
hLayer
  Handle to a layer for added entities.
szFileName
  The filename of the shapefile.
If empty name or NULL is specified, then "Open File" dialog will be displayed to let user select a file.
hLcWnd
  Handle to LiteCAD graphics window.
May be ignored (specify NULL) if the "Open File" dialog is not used.

Code sample:

 The below code loads a shapefile and sets a color of all added entities. 
  BOOL bOK;
  int nEnts;
  HANDLE hEnt, hBlock;
  
  bOK = lcDrwInsertSHP( hLcDrw, hLayer, L"", hLcWnd );
  if (bOK){
    // get number of added entities
    nEnts = lcPropGetInt( 0, LC_PROP_G_INT );
    // get handle of first added entity
    hEnt = lcPropGetHandle( 0, LC_PROP_G_HANDLE );
    if (hEnt){
      // get handle of the block which contains added entities
      hBlock = lcPropGetHandle( hEnt, LC_PROP_ENT_BLOCK );
      while( hEnt ){
        // set color of the entity
        lcPropPutInt( hEnt, LC_PROP_ENT_COLOR, RGB(255,0,0) );
        // get next added entity
        hEnt = lcBlockGetNextEnt( hBlock, hEnt );
      }
    }
  }
